In one case, where police said Cyrus allegedly had a stolen backpack, the defendant is charged with felony counts of drug possession and receiving stolen property. In the case where he allegedly ran from police, Cyrus is charged with felony counts of drug possession and sales, possessing a smoking device and obstructing police.

In a third case, Cyrus is charged with two felony counts of failing to appear in court.

During Wednesday's hearings, Chico police officer Paul Ratto testified about contacting Cyrus regarding an outstanding felony warrant outside a residence on West Seventh and Walnut streets on May 22. Cyrus reportedly said he would go get identification, but allegedly ran after Ratto said he knew who Cyrus was.

Officers set up a perimeter and apprehended the defendant about three blocks away 20 minutes later.

When the defendant fled, he dropped a backpack and skateboard he had been carrying. Ratto searched the backpack and found a digital scale, a glass smoking device and four plastic bags containing what appeared to be a total of 7.29 grams of methamphetamine.

Ratto later interviewed Cyrus after the defendant waived his Miranda right to remain silent. The defendant reportedly admitted to selling the meth to help pay a debt owed to a dealer.

Judge Steven Howell ruled there was probable cause to hold Cyrus in all three cases. The judge initially found there was insufficient evidence to prove the defendant failed to appear in court. The Butte County Jail released Cyrus on his own recognizance, but the jail documents failed to contain legally required language.

Howell revisited the matter and held Cyrus for failing to appear because the defendant signed a court document that contained the proper wording.
